Specialty services for districts

Support As You Need It

During times when your district is in need to provide specialty assistance to its students, CAPS is the provider to assist you with the professional staff to fill the educational gaps. A district need for these services could be due to a number of reasons such as:

• You need a trusted, non-salaried full or part-time provider
• You have a fixed long-term need, but can’t fill a salaried position
• You have a short-term need without guarantee of continued work
• Your current staff is on extended family or sick leave

These are all great opportunities to engage the CAPS specialty services team. We will collaborate with your district teachers, families, caregivers and other support staff to provide meaningful, individualized, and effective support to your student(s).

Speech Therapy

Speech-Language Pathologists and Speech Therapy Assistants work with your student to prevent, assess, diagnose and treat speech, language, and social communication challenges. Treatment plans may include:

• Teaching your student how to make sounds
• Improving voice amplification
• Refining vocabulary and setence structure
• Strengthening muscles used to swallow
• Improving language comprehension

Assistive Technology

If your student requires communication assistance, our Assistive Technology Specialists will give them the patient, compassionate support they deserve. Depending on your students needs and preferences, we may use low-tech methods such as picture boards and symbol charts or more high-tech devices like speech generation devices, specialty keyboards, and screen readers. Assistive technology removes the communication barrier and helps your student interact with others and build relationships.
